The Best Place to Buy all Kinds of

But q few years ago good carpet was
luxury that could only be afforded by
the wealthy, and was hardly known out
side OF the palstial homes OF the rich.
Now, however, so great has been the re-
duction In first cost at the manufac-
tories, that even the poorest families
can afford to indulge their tastes In car
pets. When looking about the city for

eral in all Its dealings can be found than
the mammoth establishment OF l.. Wolf
son, at the old stand, northwest corner
OF Main plaza, where can always be
found an endless variety OF carpets,
mattings, oil cloths, linOlien, rag car
pets. In fact, the Wolson house con-
tains everything that could be desired In
the upholstering line, and all the new
est and most desirable styles and pat
terms. You can buy almost at your own
price II you will call and give them

the old idea, which still vaguely survives, that

opher there were once three sexes, descended
respectively from the sun, earth and raoon
and each had a duality of heads, arms and
legs. But the beings SO endowed were round
and rcvOlved about with the facility Of q
Fourth of July fire wheel
In process OF time they grow SO fierce and
powerful that Zeus was put to his wits ends
to know what to do with them, as they at
tempted at one time to storm heaven and
overpowcr even tho gods. He did not wish
to destroy them outright; $50 he directed
Apollo to cut each Of them in two, which
was done; and thus tho number of human
beings was doubled. Each Of these half be-
.nG its other half. And when they found
each other tLeir only desire was to be reunit-
Ell by Vulcan and never be parted again
And this longing and striving after union
that is what is meant by the namc of love"
As the separations that neceSsitate this union

ones are those that spring up without knovl-
